Verse 1

When we walk with the Lord in the light of His word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.
Trust and obey,
For there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.

And He never will leave us to roam.
